Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs butter
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 lb white button mushrooms, sliced (about 5 cups)
  • 8 oz smoked ham, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 4 to 5 tsp curry powder
  • 2 cans (1 3/4 ounces each) ready-to-serve chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking barley

Directions

  • In a large saucepan melt butter. Add carrots and onion; cook, stirring occasionally until carrots are nearly crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
